No. 24-40147

DENIED. See United States v. Wagner, 158 F.3d 901, 902–03 (5th Cir. 1998). Further, to the extent that Lerma-Garcia raises a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, the record is insufficiently developed for this court to review such a claim in this direct appeal. See United States v. Isgar, 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).

We have otherwise reviewed counsel’s brief and the relevant portions of the record reflected therein, as well as Lerma-Garcia’s response. We concur with counsel’s assessment that the appeal presents no nonfrivolous issue for appellate review. Accordingly, counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is GRANTED, counsel is excused from further responsibilities herein, and the appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
